At the thought of this, she raised her head and slowly said, “Xie Xuan, I…”
At the same time, Xie Xuan lowered his head.
The moment their eyes met, Lu Haiqiao froze for a second.
Xie Xuan seized the opportunity to speak first.
“You have something to tell me?” he asked.
Lu Haiqiao nodded firmly.
Her warm and direct gaze landed on Xie Xuan’s beautiful face. She watched as the corners of his lips curled up bit by bit, and his eyes narrowed into a beautiful arc.
“It just so happens that I have something to tell you too. I had planned to tell you when you get off work for dinner.” As he spoke, Xie Xuan leaned forward slightly and gently caressed the back of Lu Haiqiao’s head. The moment he leaned over, his voice softened. “But now, it seems like we might not be able to wait until this evening.”
His eyes were like a vortex with a powerful attraction, sucking away Lu Haiqiao’s soul.
It was very quiet in the elevator. She was so nervous that she could hear her heartbeat.
“Yes, and I’m guessing that we’re talking about the same thing.” Xie Xuan paused and looked at her with a smile in his gentle eyes. “Am I right?”
Lu Haiqiao blushed and pretended to be calm. “Then tell me. We’ll know if it’s the same thing if you tell me.”
Since he wanted to take the initiative, she would give him the opportunity. Xie Xuan lowered his eyes slightly, and his gaze landed on her left hand, where the red bracelet was.
After looking at it for two seconds, he held her left hand, and their fingers interlocked. Then, slowly, he pressed them against his chest.
“Lu Haiqiao, listen carefully. I want to tell you…” At this point, he stopped.
The elevator door had opened at some point.
With a gust of wind, Xie San walked out of the elevator.
“Master!”
Xie San was stunned when he saw the two of them holding hands.
Xie Xuan, who was interrupted, looked up unhappily.
He stood straight but kept a firm grip on Lu Haiqiao’s hand. “Yes?”
His tone was very cold.
Even though he knew that he had shown up at the wrong time, Xie San still took a step forward. He glanced at Lu Haiqiao warily. “Master, let’s talk in private.”
Unexpectedly, Xie Xuan pulled Lu Haiqiao behind him to protect her. “Just say
it.”
He was telling Xie San that Lu Haiqiao was one of their own and that there was no need to avoid her.
Xie San pursed his lips and deliberated for a moment before saying, “Master, I just received news that Old Master is not feeling well. He has been hospitalized. ”
He was referring to Xie Xuan’s father, Xie Wensheng.
“What’s going on?” The gentleness was gone, and Xie Xuan’s gaze turned cold. Feeling unwell was just a vague description, but the truth was far more than that.
Xie San lowered his eyes and didn’t speak.
Behind Xie Xuan, Lu Haiqiao understood very well that because she was present, Xie San couldn’t say certain things.
So she let go of Xie Xuan’s hand.
Feeling her moving away, Xie Xuan turned around nervously.
Lu Haiqiao stared at him with her beautiful eyes. “Go ahead. Deal with the urgent matter first.”
Xie Xuan held her shoulders with both hands. “Then do you understand what I didn’t get to finish just now?”
She was so smart that it was impossible for her not to understand.
Hearing this, Lu Haiqiao smiled mischievously. Then, she puffed up her cheeks a little. “You haven’t finished. How can I understand, so…
She stood on her tiptoes and whispered into his ear, “Tell me when you’re done, okay?”
